Fragments, Shards or Artifacts

I finally caught up with Lulu Fitcher in her West Peterborough NH Studio and enjoyed an hour or so browsing through her pots, buttons and other neat ceramics.

She had a large jar of broken pot bits and here is what I came home with. Can you see these backed with gold lame and freeform beading around them?

Modern archaeological artifacts?

I first sawLulu's ceramicsat the LNHC Fair several years ago and have wanted her to do some small pieces for bead embroidery ever since that time. Turns out all I had to do was root in her artifact jar.

This is what happens when one of her unglazed porcelain fragments meets a bead crochet rope.

About Me

I used to summer in the woods of rural New Hampshire and winter in Tombstone, Arizona but now have landed permanently in Arizona. I’ve been beading off and on for over twenty five years or more and take pleasure in making adornments that delight both the wearer and viewer.
